I'm bringing the best news on this cool New York City morning: Tom Ford’s Multi-Use Foundation Stick is back and better than ever. Well, to be fair, I didn’t get to try the previous formula before it was discontinued, but I’m pretty well-versed in stick foundations in general, and I can already tell you this is an A+ launch.

​Whereas previous foundation stick options I’ve tried have been dry, hard to blend, and ultimately left me looking like a cakey mess, it’s like Tom Ford has mastered all of the best parts of all my favorite liquid foundations —ease of use, lightweight on the skin, lasting power—and has simply transferred this philosophy over to a new component. That’s no easy feat, since the product has to be heated to be made into its stick form. Formula integrity? Unmatched.

​We’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg on why I enjoy this foundation so much, since I’ve had a few weeks to play around with the formula. Long story short, this is now my gold standard for stick foundations. Intrigued?…
